A Guide to being mean to your 11 year old sister on holiday

Recently my family and I went to Singapore where we perfected the art of being mean to my sister.

1. Whenever she gets grumpy or whiney sing "you better not pout, you better not cry" etc. This only really works before Christmas and if at a previous Christmas you managed to convince her she was ACTUALLY getting coal (ie: putting presents under the tree that look as though they could be coal and reminding her of all the bad things she has ever done).

2. Convince her that the Island you are staying on is one of the only places in the world that still has dinosaurs.

3. Convince her that the dolphin pool she is about to go swimming in has a neighbouring shark pool (you need to be rally great at acting, which I am)

4. When she actidentally locks herself in the toilet in your room wait 10-15 minutes until you let her out.

5. Sign her name as 'Gimp' for everything (ie when she has to sign out a towel or when you are at a design your own pizza restaurant and they call out your name when your order is ready)

6. Invent hand torture methods
-Bread and Butter: when you are holding hands wih her but are secretly grinding her knuckles together
-The Crane: pushing her fingers down to touch her fore-arm to make it look like a crane's head
-Th Christ's Nail: when you press your thumb into the middle of her palm and your middle or 'rude' finger into the back of her hand between the tendons

7. The Cheese (see below): When you trap her in between two beds. There are many options after this. While my brother favours the 'fart on head', my personal preference is the coffin move where you push her to the ground and then push the two top matresses together.



ENJOY!
